The LGA has responded to an International Development Select Committee inquiry following up the United Nations Millennium Development Goal (MDG) Summit that took place in September 2011.

The LGA have offered to support the UK Department for International Development (DFID) in responding to the MDGs and in addressing a new global development framework beyond 2015.
